You hear run coaches say it again and again: if you train the same way day after day, you’re unlikely to see much progression.

When it comes to performing at your best, there are a couple of traits that you can 'borrow' from elite athletes.

If you want to train well, you need to be able to recover well. But despite advances in our understanding of recovery techniques, myths still pervade.

When it comes to managing injuries - and other setbacks - it can be tempting to focus on the immediate problem. However, by looking at the bigger picture of 'why', you are more likely to ensure a more effective, long-term management of the problem.

When was the last time you covered as much distance as you can in 8-10 seconds? Incorporating sprinting into your training will help improve your distance running performance.

The biggest risks for runners are getting injured, overreaching, and bonking. While the only way to reduce these risks to zero is to stop running, there are things you can do to contain them.

Zone 2 training sessions - long, slow workouts - are increasingly popular amongst endurance athletes. However, aiming for a Zone 2 workout and actually doing one are two different things.
